< Psalms 46 >
1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. 'For the Virgins.' — A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.
UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, uyatholwa elusizo kakhulu ekuhluphekeni.
2 Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
Ngenxa yalokhu kasiyikwesaba ekuguqukeni komhlaba, lanxa izintaba zidilikela phakathi kwenlwandle.
3 Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. (Selah)
Amanzi alo kawahlokome, akhaphazele, izintaba zizamazame ngokukhukhumala kwalo. (Sela)
4 A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
Kulomfula, izifula zawo zithokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele yamathabhanekele oPhezukonke.
5 God [is] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
UNkulunkulu uphakathi kwawo, kawuyikunyikinywa; uNkulunkulu uzawusiza ngovivi lokusa.
6 Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
Izizwe ziyaxokozela, imibuso izamazame; wakhupha ilizwi lakhe, umhlaba wancibilika.
7 Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. (Selah)
INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)
8 Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
Wozani libone imisebenzi yeNkosi, incithakalo eyenzileyo emhlabeni.
9 Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.
Yenza izimpi ziphele kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba; yephula idandili, iqumaqume umkhonto, itshise izinqola emlilweni.
10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
Thulani, lazi ukuthi mina nginguNkulunkulu, ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe, ngiphakanyiswe emhlabeni.
11 Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! (Selah)
INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)
